HORRIBLE DEATH
The Little Girl Of Fouquette Burned
To Death last Monday
Last Monday morning* a
most horrible aid distressing-
accident occurred when a
little jrirl of Mr, and Mrs. A.
Fouquette was burned to
death. The child, aged three,
and two of the other childern
but little older were playing
in the barn and it is thought
that the childern had matches
with which thev set fire to
the hay. When the flames
sprang up the older children
ran ont, but the little girl
unable to make her escape
remained a helpless victim of
the flames. When help arrived all that could be done
was to pull the body an unrecognizable mass and gruesome sight, from the flaming
mass of hay. The parents are
prostrated with grief, and
the mother is in a serious
condition from the shock.
They have the heartfelt sympathy of the whole community
in this hour of deep sorrow.
The funeral took place from
St. John's church on Tuesday.—Foley Tribune
ONLY ONE DEER
According* to a construction,
the Attorney general put on
the game laws, a hunter may
kill only one deer during* the
open season.
TONY JAMMA GOT CONTRACT

contract to build a new bridge
across Hillman Creek near Valentine Schraut's place was let
to Tony Jamma. The town will

bridg*e, and Tony is to get |55.

CHILD SCALDED
Information was received in
St. Cloud Friday of a sad fatal
ity that befell the 15-months-
old child of Mr. and Mrs. Thos.
Willenbring at Richmond yesterday. The little one fell into
a kettle of boiling water and
was scalded to death-
broad tilkige
Plow ingr
FORMS OF TILLAGE
In a general way, tillage
might b divided into plowing,
subsoil tillage,
and in ter-tillage,
would include the use of the
breaking ani stubble plow.
Sub.soil tillage would include
the use of the subsoil plow
and the surface packer. Broad
ti'Iaye wou d include the Use
of the harrow, disk, and similar implements of tillage,
while* intertillage would include the use of practically
every form of hoe and cultivator that is used for cultivation
between the plants of a growing crop.
There has been no marked
change in the general principles of tillage, but there has
been a cons ant change in the
form, size and number of tillage implements; until todav
one finds an extensive list of
implements that may be purchased. However, where the
farmer has the more impor
tant implements of tillage, as
the plow, disk, harrow and
cultivator, and uses them intelligently, they can be made
to serve the purpose of many
of the lesser implements of
_. tillage, at least until he is in
a better position to purchase
the other.s
PLOWING
Plowing, though seemingly
a simple process, is easily the
most important operation in
the tillage of the soil. Upon
it depend to a great degree
the nature of later operations
and the frequency with which
thev will be inquired. In factn
unless land is plowed in the
best manner possible, and
at the right time, the prepara-
tie* <■•*. the land for growing
a crop will require additional
Labor and cost. It may even
be impossible to prepare a
g*ood seed-bed when plowed
under certain conditions.
Deputy Sheriff F. X. Her-
^oux of Little Falls was out on
"^official business last Tuesdav.
-vMrs. Anton Tembreull went
to Little Falls yesterday.
HOW TO PLOW
The pride of every plow
man is a straight, well turned
furrow; and yet its straight-
ness is but a small part of its
merit. Its true merit is
measured by its depth, the
manner in which it is turned,
and the way in which it lies.
When property turned, it will
present a loosely pulverized
and completely inverted furrow-slice that leaves behind a
furrow of sufficient depth, even in the bottom, and clean-
cut in every part.
With land that is to be put
into crop soon after plowing,
as in the case of spring plowing or of fall plowing for fall-
sown crops, it is very important that the ground, if possible, be sufficiently moist to
pulzerize nicely," and that
each day's plowing shall be
harrowed at once. Working
the furrow-slice immedially
after plowing* pulverizes it
more comp'etelv, and checks
the loss of moisture by evaporation. With the fall plowing of land that is not going
to be put into crop until the
following spring, it is not so
important that the furrow-slice pulverize as completely, for lumps and clods
that are turned up with the
furrow-slice will crumble
and pulveiize by the action of
rain, air, sunshine and frost.
Plowed land readily absorbs
rainfall, and the loosely turned furrows increase the storage capacity vf the soil. The
inverted soil of the furrow-
sliced exposes another series
of soil particles to the action
of the air, rains, freezing and
thawing, ali of w hich will tend
to aerate the soil and liberate
plint food.
Plowing is also the principal method bv which grain
stubble and all others forms
of organic matter are introduced into the soil. Hence it
is importint that the plow be
properly equipped, and the
furrow-slice so turned that all
organic matter will be completely turned under, of such
a depth that the harrow and
the cultivature will scarcely
be troubled with it afterward .
Mel. Wermerskirchen, Nick
ard Joe Mayer and Leo Tembreull went to Rock lake duck
hunting last Tuesday. They
intend to stay all week.
